Categories     Soup/Stew     Vegetable

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 medium onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
Coarse salt and ground pepper
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1 pound (about 2 bunches) collard greens, stalks removed, leaves coarsely chopped
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon red-pepper flakes
2 cans (19 ounces each) white beans, rinsed and drained
1 can (14 1/2 ounces) diced tomatoes, in juice
Grated Parmesan, for serving (optional)

Steps:

  • 1. In a large saucepan, heat oil over medium. Add onion and garlic; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until onion begins to soften, 5 to 6 minutes. Add tomato paste, and cook, stirring, until onion is coated, about 30 seconds. Add collard greens, thyme, and red-pepper flakes. Cook, stirring, until collards start to wilt, 2 to 4 minutes. 2. Place 1/4 of beans in a bowl, and mash them with the back of a spoon (this will help thicken soup). Add all the beans to the pan, as well as tomatoes with juice and 4 cups water. Bring to a boil; reduce heat, cover and simmer, until collards are tender, 10 to 15 minutes. Season with salt and pepper; serve with grated Parmesan, if desired.

This soup was a bit too salty for my taste. I think I'll use less salt next time.

This soup was a lifesaver on a cold winter night. It was so warm and comforting, and it helped me to feel better.

I'm not a fan of collard greens, but I really enjoyed this soup. The white beans and Parmesan cheese helped to balance out the bitterness of the greens.

This recipe was a bit too time-consuming for me. I ended up using canned beans and chopped collard greens to save time.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my soup turned out really watery. I think I might have added too much liquid.

This soup was a bit bland for my taste. I added some extra garlic and chili pepper flakes, and it was much better.

This soup was delicious and easy to make. I used kale instead of collard greens, and it turned out great. The white beans added a nice creaminess to the soup.
